Walleye Rr IMX S
Walleye spinner and bait rig rod with soft tip for blade feel and stiff butt for hooksets.
The G. Loomis IMX Walleye Rig Rod (WRR) Spinning is built for fishing spinner rigs and live-bait rigs for walleye, primarily by trailing or back-trolling behind a boat on river systems and open water. The technique demands a rod that can telegraph blade rotation and bottom contact through the tip while maintaining enough butt power to make hooksets and lift fish cleanly, both qualities the WRR blank is explicitly engineered to provide.
The blank is IMX graphite, a high-performance material that keeps weight low and sensitivity high without reaching NRX-tier pricing. The design is characterized by a light, soft tip section transitioning to a noticeably stiffer butt, a deliberate taper for rig fishing. The handle uses full cork rear grip with a custom cork mid-body reel seat, a walleye-oriented configuration that keeps the angler's hand near the blank for maximum feel.
Fuji guides complete the hardware. The series is a single-model line: the IMX 851S WRR at 7'1" with Light power and Fast action, rated for 6–10 lb line and 1/16–5/16 oz lures. The 7'1" length is standard for rig-rod reach. The IMX tier places this rod in the mid-range of the G. Loomis walleye lineup, above the E6X WRR and below the NRX-tier rods. No multi-size or multi-power variants documented.

Model notes
All 1 modelsSole model in the series. The 7'1" length, Light power, and fast-transition taper are matched to the demands of spinner-rig trolling: enough reach for line management, a tip that confirms blade rotation, and butt power that handles walleye and the occasional incidental bonus fish.
